I’ll get pictures up in a week or so, but in the interim will provide a detailed description.  We took the bronze caps off the strainers, and tapped them for a 1/2 inch pipe.  We then plumbed ball valves and a 90 to the 1/2 in pipe.  Flushing process involves attaching dock hose to the strainer via the parts described before, letting the engine run, open hose valve, close seacock.  I have hoses permanently installed so I do a hose to hose connection in the cockpit to keep dripping out of the engine room.
